Grandma Chen kept staring at her, making Gu Anxi’s skin crawl.
Grandma Chen reached out to touch her face and sighed, "You child, it’s so much better this way. Try to be more amiable with others, and don’t always look so stern."
Gu Anxi’s lips tightened, and she didn’t say anything more.
Grandma Chen knew that Gu Anxi still couldn’t get over it. Yes, who could in her shoes?
Anxi’s mother had always been superstitious. When a fortune-teller said Anxi had an unlucky birth chart, she believed it wholeheartedly.
After Gu Yuntian’s car accident, Anxi’s mother kept muttering the same things—
"It’s better if she never comes back... It’s better if she never comes back. She’s a jinx."
Now, her mother only cared about wealth and glory; Anxi didn’t figure in her thoughts at all.
Gu Yuntian was alive now, but it was no different than if he were gone.
When Wang Keru remarried, Grandma Chen couldn’t say much. Everyone has their own aspirations, and besides, the Gu family was such a huge mess.
Grandma Chen didn’t care about those messy affairs, but there was one thing: no one was allowed to bully her little darling.
Grandma Chen worried that Gu Anxi didn’t have money for the medical expenses, so she took out a passbook.
Gu Anxi opened it and saw it contained over three hundred thousand.
She handed it back, saying quietly, "I have money."
Grandma Chen still pressed her funeral savings into Gu Anxi’s hand, insisting she keep it.
In the end, Gu Anxi didn’t refuse anymore.
It was almost noon. She went out to buy some fruit and then bought two meals from the hospital cafeteria. Wearing her Qing University uniform and being naturally beautiful, she drew quite a bit of attention.
At least, Feng Mian noticed her. He coughed lightly to Bo Xichen, who was beside him, and said, "That kid is quite a head-turner. Even if she had no acting skills, she could become a top-tier star in the entertainment industry with looks like those!"
Bo Xichen’s gaze lightly fell on the distant figure in white, and he remarked coolly, "A temper like hers isn’t suited for the entertainment industry."
Feng Mian stared at him, his gaze knowing.
One look from Bo Xichen, and Feng Mian instantly curbed his impudence.
Meanwhile, after eating lunch, Gu Anxi chatted with Grandma Chen for a while before returning to school.
Gu Anxi was a prominent figure at Qing University. Everywhere she went, she never lacked an audience, but the stares today were particularly fervent, accompanied by hushed whispers.
Gu Anxi never paid any mind to such things and went straight to her classroom.
Everyone in Class 2 of her department knew that Gu Anxi only came to school to make an appearance. Many professors had given up on her; only Professor Gao still tirelessly tried to guide her.
She had just sat down when she noticed her deskmate had changed. It wasn’t Shen Wanqing, but a new transfer student.
The new classmate was named Chu Yan. She was transferred from Beicheng, had a cute round face, and was said to be a gifted student.
At this moment, the gifted student saw Gu Anxi sit down and immediately leaned over to whisper, "My name is Chu Yan."
Gu Anxi glanced at her, her expression clearly saying, "Strangers, keep out."
The students in Class 2 gasped. Our campus belle is so cold and aloof!
No wonder even Shen Wanqing couldn’t stand her! Professor Gao, unwilling to see his favorite student corrupted by association, must have separated them directly.
Chu Yan, however, didn’t mind Gu Anxi’s cold shoulder. Her gaze was particularly ardent as she said, "Gu Anxi, you’re so beautiful!"
As soon as she finished speaking, the classroom burst into laughter.
From that day on, Chu Yan secretly gained a nickname: T-Dog—Gu Anxi’s devoted beauty admirer.
Chu Yan didn’t mind the others’ mockery and kept smiling cheerfully.
Gu Anxi took out a book. It was densely packed with English text.
Chu Yan couldn’t understand it but felt the need to pretend she did. "Is this an original edition textbook?"
Gu Anxi replied softly, "It’s a medical book."
She had just bought it.
